Share your Oral Health Story

Oral Health Experiences

Offering insight into your experiences with the Medicaid dental program, including barriers and positive outcomes, can help other families voice their experiences and collectively bring voice and power to the forefront of the oral health policy conversation at the organizational, local, and state levels. Your experiences give you a unique lens. You have a crucial role to play to ensure that legislative, regulatory, and public health entities make informed decisions about Medicaid dental services for your children. You have the ability to create positive change and affect children’s oral health and wellbeing across the state of Florida.
